Whew! It's been a spectacularly busy week and a half. In the past ten days I have attended three days of Jazz Fest, attended not one, but two crawfish boils for Mother's Day, had a birthday, had a graduation party, graduated, celebrated, packed up, and sold furniture. My stomach has been protesting for over indulging in these rich New Orleans foods, and I am now on a salad/raw food diet (and let me tell you, I'm not a salad gal).
In all this fussing around and entertaining, I have had so much fun, but have had little time for the quiet moments in life until today. This evening just after sunset, I looked out my window and saw the most beautiful almost-full moon. I grabbed my camera and took a short walk to take some pictures of the moon.
While the moon is so difficult to capture on film,* I still love taking pictures of it. There is something incredibly calming about the night sky to me, and I always hope that these moon photos will capture that mood. I also saw this wonderful flower on my walk. They are in my neighbor's yard, and are huge and hang down, so that you have to pick up the flower to see those delicate petals inside. Isn't it just gorgeous?
*What do you say when you take a picture, but its digital, not on film? I'm still going to stick with "on film" because it's the same concept. The beauty that your eye takes in is just not captured by the camera.
